Detailed description

The Promoting Cardiovascular Health of Northern Appalachian Women During and After Pregnancy: Pilot Study is a single arm pilot study that will enroll pregnant women (\<28 weeks' gestation) participating in the NFP home visitation program in the Northern Appalachian region of Central Pennsylvania. This pilot study will include an enhanced version of the NFP standard care plan delivered by trained nurses to promote cardiovascular health among women by targeting decreased sedentary time and enhanced physical activity (and where applicable smoking cessation) during and after pregnancy.
